About Me

I HIT 13 Years in the US Army on October 3rd...YAHOOO!!!!Been in the US Army 13 years (only 7 years left), and it gets better every year. I have been station at FT Jackson, SC / FT Benjamin Harrison, IN / FT Hood, TX / Conn Barracks, Schwenifurt, GE / FT Benning, GA / Valdosta, GA / Deland, FL / Daytona Beach, FL / & now Valdosta, GA.... I am the Station Commander for the U.S. Army Recruiting Station in Valdosta, GA..... Call me Toll-Free (1-877-302-7727) and say HI...... I was also deployed from DEC95-NOV96 to Bosnia in support of Operation Joint Endeavor...... I have met many famous people throughtout my career. I guess the highlight would be meeting Mel Gibson & Sam Elliot while being an extra in the movie "We Were Soldiers" when it was being filmed at FT Benning, GA..... I will be adding more pictures of the famous people I have meet in the future. I will also be updating my videos as well..... When I joined the US Army, I was a Personnel Adminstration Specialist (Clerk, I wanted nice easy job indoors...lol). In 2002, I volunteered to be an US Army Representative because I wanted to help people & tell the Army Story. As a U.S. Army Representative I have helped many men & women with their lives by showing them how the US Army will hopefully make their life easier. What makes my job so rewarding is when a man or woman returns from graduating Basic Training & Advance Individual Training and they look me in the eye, standing tall, looking good and say to me "Thank you for helping me". These same Soldiers either call or email about every 3 months telling about all their adventures & asking for advise. The other rewarding part of my job is when a parent either hugs me or shakes my hand and tells me, "Thank you for helping my child", can't get any better than that. That is what makes my job worth while......My Quote:I don't know, its the battle, deploying with your fellow soldiers, hanging together, having your own place, staying in hotels & having wild parties, making alot of money doing what we love to do, driving fast cars & big trucks, setting ourselves apart, being different than everybody else, having a chance to be somebody, to do something that people look up to you for, your strength, your courage, not everybody can be a U.S. Army Soldier... were the lucky ones.......ARMY Strong!!!!!
